The dual-process model: Unlocking the potential of auditory stimulation to modulate brain oscillations during sleep.

A new conceptual framework for auditory stimulation during NREM sleep is proposed, outlining how key stimulation parameters influence the spatiotemporal coordination of network activities underlying specific oscillations and provides a foundation for interpreting the effects of auditory stimulation, formulating hypotheses on neuronal mechanisms, and identifying which synchronization processes to target for specific functions.
